I am a little bit confused about the options I can set with
curl_easy_setopts(), and precisely which ones I would need. Looking at the
example code present here: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/simplessl.html
hasn't helped much. Do I really need to specify all of these options?
Need? No. Can? Yes!
You don't _need_ a single extra option for HTTPS://, just set the URL and go.
You may want to set one or two still though.
More than likely, I'm just not understanding what little documentation I can
find on this subject.
Well, please ask specific questions about what's unclear. AFAIK, every single
libcurl option is documented pretty clearly.
You are expected to read up on SSL/TLS and HTTPS technical details elsewhere.
